Dietra Louise Alexander, 24, was among four members of an Alexander family killed in their Watts, Los Angeles home on August 31, 1984. The victims included Dietra, her mother Ebora Alexander and two young nephews, Damon Bonner and Damani Gardner-Alexander. Investigators concluded the attack was carried out by members of the Rolling 60s Crips who intended to target a rival gang member and entered the Alexander home by mistake.

Reports identify Tiequon Cox as a prime suspect who, with accomplices, forced entry and shot the family. Cox was later arrested and charged with multiple counts of first-degree murder; the trial record shows guilty verdicts and a death sentence. At least one accomplice received life without parole. The killings drew attention partly because Dietra’s brother, Kermit Alexander, was a former NFL player.

Anyone who knew the Alexanders or has information about the events of August 31, 1984, is asked to come forward.
